Rob Crittenden 73a674ed49 Fix bug that prevented single-character fields
Fix bug in exception handling where we were sending the wrong thing as detail.
Basically we were catching an LDAP error, generating an IPAError from it,
 catching that, then setting the detail of the 2nd exception to another IPAError
 rather than the root exception. This caused anything looking at e.detail to
 crap out

IPA uses Kerberos with an LDAP storage backend and some custom plugins
to help manage users and passwords.

A UI interface is provided to make user administration and self-service
possible. A set of command-line utilities that should provide the same
capabilities is in ipa-admintools.

The Gecko engine provides an interface for managing a user's configuration
in Javascript. Naturally this is highly protected and the user gets an
appropriately dire warning when you try to do this. It also requires 
signed javascript.

During installation a signing certificate is created that creates
and signs /usr/share/ipa/html/configure.jar which contains the javascript
to update the browser configuration. User's are directed to go to
/errors/preferencs.html to load this javascript and apply the changes.
